nominee of its party for President. Cleve

seen that In 1883 the Republicans carried
only three Of the eight states and the

Republicans carried six of these statas

These figures and their meaning are un-

weeks the Democratic press and their al
lies Of the Third Party, whose apostle is
st. John once Of Kansas, are crying out
that the Republican party is in rapid and
sure decline. And now that the Demo

squarely on the British doctrines Of Free

PoAcHERs AT WORK.
A Number of Men Fined for Violating
Fish Laws.
The Slaughter of Deer stil Going on
Especial to the Press.

Especial to the Press.1
CALAIS, Feb. 24.-Game Warden Albert
French is proving himself terror to violators
of the fish and game laws in this vicinity
For some time past it has been known that
party of men have been in the praetice-of
setting lines for fish in the various ponds and
streams in the Northern part of the county
and shipping the fish to Massachusetts par
ties, thereby realizing quite handsome
profit. Warden French determited to break
up this gang if possible and receiving in
formation that they were conducting their
operations on Poeumpus lake proceeded
thither in company with Wardens Pond of
Princeton and Hayward of Edmunds. The
officers came upon their men on Friday last,
on the shores of the lake, surprising them in
the act of pulling up their lines and captured
five of them. Leaving the prisoners in
charge of Hayward the other two wardens
went in pursuit of the fugitiyes and came up
with them near Sysladobsis lake. They
were feur men, all hard characters and seem
ed disposed to offer resistance. The wardens
succeeded, however, in gettings the whole
gang under bolt and bar in the lookup at
Grand Lake Stream. French then swore out
the necessary warrants at Calais and on
Tuesday the men were duly arraigned before
the municipal court of Calais. The warrants
charged the respondents with illegally fishing
by means of set lines, for trout, togue and
landlocked salmon in the waters of Pocumpu.
lake. The respondents pleaded guilty and
Trial Justice McGorrigle imposed the fol-
lowing sentences: jeremiah Fifeld and
Clarence E. Burke of Lee, $50 and costs
each; VIM. Crandlemere of Lee, Wheeler
Smith and Emery Sullivan of Lakeville. $40
and costs each. Upon payment of the fines
the men in company with two others, who
were found not guilty, were released.
On their journey to the lakes the wardens
encountered party of seven men who were
conveying three horses loaded with deer car
cases. These managed In some way to make
their escape, but the authorities are confident
of securing them in day or two.
Warden French is the same man who last
summer with one companion entered an In
dian camp in the interior of the county and
deliberately shot every dog. As the officers
wore obliged to cross and recross lake in
the light Of the full moon, miles away from
any civilized place ana as couple of well
directed rifle bullets would have blotted
them from the surface of the earth as COM
pletely as If they had never existed, this ex-
plot displays very considerable amount Of
courage. Warden French has got the reputa-
tion of being hard customer for law breakers
to tackle and he has abundantly earned it.

In the Senate.
Great Excitement over the Situation
OF Affairs.
The Republicans Take no Part in the
Senate Business.

Indianapolis, Feb. 24.-The Senate
Chamber was well guarded this morning by
special doorkeepers IN expectation of stirring
events. At the hour of o'clock Green
Smith raped the Senate to order, whereup-
on Col Robertson, who had been admitted
to the floor, started toward the chair. He
was met on the stairs by an assistant door
keeper, who told him he could not come up.
The Colonel replied he was the presiding
officer OF the Senate and must take his seat,
and stepped forward when the doorkeeper
repelled him to the foot Of the stairs.
Thereupon he stood in front of the clerks
desk and stated he had been elected Lieuten-
ant Governor Of the State, and by the con-
etltution was presiding officer of the Senate,
and he demanded his seat. The d0orkeeper
approached Robertson, took his arm, and
the two walked out to the main door. The
crowd saw Robertson come out and there
was great excitement He mounted the
steps ana made speech, reciting lwhat had
transplred IN the chamber and cautioned the
people to DO nothing that would infringe the
peace or 1lgnity of the State, or that which
they would regret in cooler moments.
Senator johnson Of Wayne, denounced the
do0rkeepers and during the melee a number
of persons from the inside approached the
door, among them Senator Mcdonald. who
put up his hands. johnson interpreted il as
an attempt 10 thrust MIN back ana he struck
the Senator in the face. Senator Denote
was ordered into his seat and when the SER
seant put him down he threw him TO the floor.
The Republican Senators started to follow
Robertson out of the chamber but were not
permitted to leave. They sat quietly in the
rear of the chamber, taking no part in the
proceedings. When the House was called to
order bills on their passage were called up,
and ona bill was passed. The speaker an
nounced that when the Lieutenant Governor
WAS presiding in the Senate according to the
constitution the fact Of the passage would
be. communicated to that body. This was re-
ceiyed with great applause.
